Titans looked like the miss big Al. All those "all-pros" on that D may have benefited a bit from the big man in the middle. For the record, I do think they're a good D--Fisher always puts a tough group out there. But they're going to have to adjust, no doubt.
I don't know how much it means, but they also have a different DC this year. Their tackling hasn't been the greatest in this game either.

Right--those things (new DC) do matter, but it's hard to tell yet. Agreed about the tackling.

Re: The Dallas Cowboys are Awful

They do look a lot better today than they did last week, but the penalty/undiscipline are still a major issue. There have been at least two blatant false starts not called on Flozell Adams, who usually leads the league every year. You don't think that he's aware that most pass rushers are a step faster than him?

Dallas' first team was not the issue, maybe Oakland's first defense is just good. I wouldn't read too much into their defensive dominance in this one: I think most teams are going to dominate the Tennessee offense this year. Kerry Collins has looked very bad.

We've seen the flashes from their running game here, and the biggest improvement from last week is in the timing of the passing game looks very sharp. But they don't looked like a team without flaws, and there's nothing that says we can't do just as well tomorrow.

Hey GTripp. Do you know if there's any truth to the rumor that Roger Goodall has passed something called the "Jerry Jones Rule"? Something about if there is a salary cap next year, bail money will count against the cap?

Haven't heard the first thing about that. It's a good way to make the salary cap useful again, if it's true. Otherwise, you might as well just rid yourself of the thing because it's helping nobody.

I know this is off topic but Michael Turner has been tearing it up so far. 2 games, 2 big runs.

Re: The Dallas Cowboys are Awful

I think it's a case of Tennessee missing AH. I know on one play early both DE's were near Romo, but the DTs were blown off the line and Romo just stepped up. I think all of the East will be tough, but Dallas still will be last.

Remember, they still suck.

Re: The Dallas Cowboys are Awful

A man walks into a bar in Dallas and sits down for a drink. He noted a dog intently watching a playoff game involving the Cowboys. Whenever the opposition scored the dog would jump onto the bar and do an animated dance. This happened over and over as the opposition scored again and again. At the end of the game the dog let out a loud howl and ran out of the bar. The man thought that was pretty unusual and said to the bartender, "Gee that's amazing. What doe's the dog do when the Cowboys WIN a playoff game?" The bartender replied, " I have no idea. The dogs only 12 years old."

Re: The Dallas Cowboys are Awful

I guess after a really good outing time to pull out some old cowboy jokes that are irrelevant nowadays. Maybe the Redskins can manage 30 total points in the final three preseason games LOL anemic offense lol.

I'm pretty sure that the joke about the dog is not "irrelevant nowadays." In fact, the dog in the joke could have been a couple of years older.
